(i) 曲线 C 的方程为 y=g(x),其中
g(x)=e3xsec2x−4π<x<4π
(a) 求 g′(x)。
(b) 由此求曲线 C 的驻点的 x 坐标。
(ii) 另一条曲线的方程为
x=ln(siny)0<y<2π
证明

其中 f(x) 是 ex 的某个函数,并求出该函数。
解答
(i)(a)
We have
g(x)=e3xsec2x
Use the product rule:
g′(x)=dxd(e3x)sec2x+e3xdxd(sec2x)
Now
dxd(e3x)=3e3x
and
dxd(sec2x)=2sec2xtan2x
Therefore
g′(x)=3e3xsec2x+2e3xsec2xtan2x
This can also be written as
g′(x)=e3xsec2x(3+2tan2x)
(i)(b)
At a stationary point,
g′(x)=0
Using the factorised form,
e3xsec2x(3+2tan2x)=0
For
−4π<x<4π
we have
e3x=0,sec2x=0
So
3+2tan2x=0
Therefore
tan2x=−23
So
2x=arctan(−23)
and hence
x=21arctan(−23)
Using a calculator,
x=−0.491396…
Therefore
x=−0.491
to 3 significant figures.
(ii)
We are given
x=ln(siny)
Exponentiate both sides:
ex=siny
Since
0<y<2π
we have cosy>0. Therefore
cosy=1−sin2y
Using siny=ex,
cosy=1−e2x
Now differentiate
x=ln(siny)
with respect to y:
dydx=sinycosy
So
dxdy=cosysiny
Substitute
siny=ex,cosy=1−e2x
to get
dxdy=1−e2xex
Therefore
dxdy=f(x)ex
where
f(x)=1−e2x
